Hey traveler, keep your lantern burning through the night
The mountain's tall, but your heart is made of steady light
The valley's deep, and the rivers run with ancient pride
But there's a fire, burning deep and wild inside

Oh, and if the stars begin to fade
I'll be the shadow in the glade
To guide you home, to guide you home

Golden dust, falling on the road we trust

Hey mother, can you feel the spirit in the breeze?
The harvest's gold, waving through the willow trees
Though we wander, far away from where we've grown
Our weary bones, will find a path back to the known

What if the world turns cold and gray?
I'll find a song to light the way
I'll shout your name across the sea
Until you're standing next to me

Hey traveler, we're almost home
